Hello dear community,
so just today I downloaded Pillars of eternity 2 deadfire on my xbox, and noticed that they have a pretty solid and logical weapon classification.
This is where I got the idea, to implement into BG3 that there should be SEPARATED weapons for the piercing ones - spears vs pikes.
Spears should stay one handed to be able to use with a shield(like spartans

) and pikes should be two handed, and they should have a bigger reach for example as a compensation.
+++ There is a logical difference for skills too :
Spear :
- you should be able to throw a spear and then you should use a different weapon until pickup (even mid fight for AP of course)
- for spear and shield there could be a counter skill like phalanx, so that when you toogle it you can decrease the next attack dmg you receive and should have a counter attack
and so on

if the community and the devs like my idea i should be more than willing to detail this part of the weapon tree.
So what do you think?
